Some days are definitely more difficult than others! Tbh I probably wouldn’t have posted to this sub considering the such hard critique I didn’t know that I would receive, thinking it wouldn’t be as brutal as r/culinaryplating but I was in a positive moment and the food looked good to me. But I’m not going to delete anything just because of that. Have you had any luck getting them to eat different foods? My oldest used to love everything and has now reverted to only easy microwaveable garbage.

My kids would never eat this and this meal was kind of a spur of the moment one. My main meal prep with this one was to time the sweet potato to finish whenever I finished sautéing the fish and cutting the cucumber and breaking apart the broccoli. My children are 4 and 2 and are quite the handful when I’m alone with them. But during the sweet potato baking I made them a lovely Mac n cheese with hotdogs because… well you know, the picky stuff. Used their food distraction to cook the fish.

Kinda odd post. At least most people aren't mean. You said you worked fine dining for bunch of years, you don't prep during service. Prep time is your friend when the kids aren't trying to kill one another. Set and forget meals are amazing. Most of that stuff would have been fine tossed in the oven, a little oil of your choice won't kill a diet nor would seasonings.

Do your little ones like grouper? This plate screams picky child plate.

My close buddy did a raw food diet that I joined them on and it was simply the most boring time ever. It does help you learn some knife skills to make interesting shapes but half the stuff is just raw veggies on top of salad.
